Kumar Sarna, a talented opening batsman, holds a Victoria rookie contract and represented Australia at the Under-19 World Cup. But as Brendan McArdle explains in the Age, Sarna has returned to the land of his birth, India, to see what opportunities await him.
Two months ago, Sarna's dream was to play for Victoria, but a string of disappointing performances at club level have scuppered his hopes. Now, in the eyes of many, he is turning his back on a system that embraced him to search for an easier option in cricket's new land of milk and honey.
His move will not exactly shake the foundations of Australian cricket, but it reflects the ever-changing focus among many of our top players, as well as those on the levels below. In cricket's current climate, if a player isn't happy with his lot, he will seek opportunities elsewhere.
